The snow returns. Not a huge amount yet and it's not too cold, but the snow is coming down and we should be on for a decent reset through tomorrow.


Overnight and tomorrow morning the wind might be an issue but hopefully not too much and there should be some good snow numbers to report. For the moment there's a light north westerly and visibility is limited.
